ENAME
Allows you to rename a sound. 16 characters can be used, and the supported characters are: a-z, A-
Z, 0-9 and the hyphen (-). Any other characters will not be displayed in the Stage Manager lists or in
the Stage display.
• Piano samples cannot be renamed so this function is not available if you have selected a piano
sample.
D
ELETE
Allows you to delete one or several selected sound. You will be asked to confirm your intentions. You
may also use the delete or backspace key on the computer keyboard to perform the deletion.
Note: Any Program in the Nord Stage that used that particular piano sample or synth patch that
you deleted will probably sound very different, since it will be missing an important component.
The space that a deleted Piano occupied is not immediately available to other pianos, even though it
is gone from the list and its location is free. The Flash memory needs to be cleaned to free up the space
where the deleted sounds have been. When you add a new piano sample the cleaning process will be
initiated automatically. You also have the option to manually start the cleaning process with the Clean
Deleted Space command from the File menu.
Note: A flashing number in the Nord Stage piano type LED indicates that the Piano location that
the current Program tried to use is not available in the Flash memory. Select another piano type or
download the missing piano sample to the Stage.
B U
ANK P
This function will upload an entire bank of piano samples, programs or synth patches to the computer
hard drive. The default source will be the currently active bank, but you may choose another partition
and bank if you wish. Click on the Choose Folder button to select the destination on the hard drive.
If the Create Subfolders option is checked, a folder structure - partition/bank/sounds - will automat-
ically be created in the destination folder.
Note: If a folder with the same name as the source partition/bank already exists in the location on
the hard drive, this folders entire content will be replaced by the uploaded files from the Nord
Stage
